Pineapple is a popular tropical fruit enjoyed across the world for its sweet taste, juicy texture, and health benefits. It grows best in warm and humid climates, which is why many tropical countries lead in its production. Pineapple is eaten fresh and also used in juices, canned foods, desserts, and food industries, making it an important fruit in global agriculture and trade.
Worldwide pineapple production touched nearly 30 million metric tons. Indonesia, the Philippines, and Costa Rica are the leading producers, supplying a large share of the global output. Other important pineapple-growing countries include Brazil, India, and Thailand. Originally native to South America, pineapple cultivation has spread to many tropical regions. Better farming methods, suitable climate conditions, and rising global demand have greatly increased pineapple production across the world.
